Workaround For Public PC Worries
In "Public PC Worries" ( http://langa.com/newsletters/2006/2006-03-30.htm#4 ), we discussed some of the problems and solutions to using vulnerable hotspot connections and/or public PCs such as those at internet cafes, coffeeshops, and the like. Here's another idea:
For checking e-mails while on vacation, I create a vacation account with my ISP, tell everyone that I might want to hear from and then only check that account. That means that the only password to get compromised is the dummy account. ---Charles Jonah
For those with a manageable contact list, it's an excellent idea, Charles--- a temporary, sacrificial account that doesn't need long term protection. Nice!
